Dear December,

please. bro please. please. bro please. please. just. dude. please. just a break. let me have one break. dude please, im begging you man, im already down, don’t kick me. bro please-

i literally love the rain so much when cars slow down and people hide in the stores and restaurants or bus stops with strangers or when they run home with plastic bags on their head or when groups of people share one umbrella i love you peace love even light and happiness on planet earth truly

unstoppable force (trying desperately to see the good in life) vs immovable object (wishing life would be kinder to me)

another important thing to remember is 1) u can pick up any hobby at any point in ur life and get outstandingly good at it & 2) the project u've been working on & aren't pleased w the current outcome so far will not be your last. u will draw/crochet/paint/sculpt/write another piece, and another, and you will have many chances to be fully content w your craft. so you should cherish the joy of making art instead of worrying ab the results & think ab how lovely it is that we're all vessels for artistry and we can share the divine act of creation!!!!!

Mushroom or art?

everyone like 'oh YA sci-fi like Hunger Games where the protagonist is special" is SO wrong that's other YA sci-fi which tried to copy thg and failed. Katniss is only important because she loves her sister. The regime doesn't fall because of uniqueness or skill or some inherent difference or ability. Sure she can shoot but that's not important. the regime falls because a girl loves her sister. Don't you get it.

dandelions, for peachtober! Image description beyond the readmore.
